Spencer Some women go through life wishing they could order neatly boxed, imprinted Christmas cards and let It go at that. They are the unlcuky souls who are en tirely too kind hearted, however, and resignedly add a signature to completely unsuitable Christmas cards, seal them and hope they get lost in the mail. The signs in the bookstores look so inviting, offering 20 per cent ol imprinted Christmas greetings for early orders, just as if anyone is thinking about Christmas cards before Hal loween. Trouble is, a lot of peo ple are. Take all those "little" people who are out peddling their wares to the suspecting, the unsuspect ing and the downright gullible buyers. By little people, I mean the junior edition salesmen who have been intrigued by the visions of all the groovy prizes they can earn by selling a single assort ment of greeting cards. Having been through the mill, I am reminded that I still have one partial box of fancy decorated decorat-ed notepaper which I purchased when my eldest was in the card hawking business, some 13 years ago. .... ... It sounded so easy. All he had to do was fill in the order blank, let people look over the samples and take orders which were bound to come pouring in. The order blank was completed, the cards arrived and were unpacked right on schedule, but the orders dribbled, drib-bled, rather than poured and I began worrying as to how the boy was going to pay off the supply biU. The young businessman, in turn, became pensive and soon aU the relatives were given the business as he made his sales pitch. Actually, my tastes in Christmas Christ-mas cards do not run to gaudy felted winking Santas or stark modern abstract designs. But, Approachable Honest Qualified Cooperative Experienced BLACIE G.

My writer friends were miffed at my choice, I am sure, feeling the printed message somewhat obtuse, to say the least. I doled out the expensive gift wrapping as if it were pure gold, since the costly stuff had to suf fice for the entire Christmas promotion. pro-motion. When my next youngster came along, he was of necessity de prived of this "valuable sales" experience. I don't know what son number one learned during that period, but I learned plen ty! I also vetoed the card sales route for the two youngest child ren. Trouble is, by then my nieces were old enough to read and fill out order blanks and were selling sell-ing monstrous cartons of greeting cards. Ditto the youngsters down the street. But no more. This is the year I am going to harden my heart, clutch my pocketbook, go to a regular store, look over the selection se-lection and buy a supply of con-ventional, con-ventional, commercial cards which will satisfy both my artistic and financial requirements. Well, I was GOING to do that! My daughter just reminded me that in a fit of compassion, I purchased the left over stock of her card selling friend last December De-cember 26. If the livid lavender background doesn't end Christmas Christ-mas card giving forever, the wizened Pine tree with the orchid or-chid decorations should at least narrow the Christmas list by half. Maybe next year. 1he 0(d M "I don't know where the money goes these days. It takes twice as much to live beyond my means as it used to."

Attorney General Warns Residents of Unscrupulous Operations of Outsiders Utah Attorney General Vernon B. Romney recently issued a warning to Utah residents to beware be-ware of unscrupulous operations by franchising firms from out of State. The operations of such firms have been under investigation investi-gation by the newly created Division Di-vision of Consumer Protection headed by Assistant Attorney General Harry E. McCoy D. "These operators seem to follow fol-low a common pattern," said Mr. Romney, "which includes solicitation by newspaper advertisements, adver-tisements, personal visits by high pressure salesmen, resulting in the sale of vending machines at a price far in excess of their actual worth." Generally, the potential buyer is shown projected earnings which later prove to be unfounded. unfound-ed. The company always requires re-quires full payment before delivery, de-livery, and often seeks to pressure the consumer into early action on the pretense that he is only one of many applicants and the salesman must choose a local lo-cal distributor and move on to other areas, usually out of state.
